Unseen hero secures Athletico Paranaense a point at Corinthians | OneFootball

Santos produced a pivotal save in the 24th minute to keep Athletico Paranaense level in a 0-0 draw at Corinthians. The goalkeeper's reflexes and command of his box underpinned a hard-earned away point.

Early on, he palmed Matheuzinho's header from the centre of the box away. Moments later he gathered Jesse Lingard's follow-up to steady Furacão.

After the restart he tipped Yuri Alberto's rising drive bound for the top right aside (65.). He then stood his ground to block the striker's close-range effort (67.) as Timão surged.

He finished with four saves, three from inside the box, and nine accurate passes from 13, a calm distribution line that helped Athletico-PR reset between waves.

With Coringão threatening through headers and central finishes, his starting positions and footwork repeatedly narrowed angles and ensured the visitors controlled the penalty area's most dangerous moments.

Furacão remain third on 37 points. Timão are eighth with 29. Timão visit Internacional in the Copa do Brasil next. Athletico-PR host Vitória in the same competition.
